Green light for export of Kenyan avocados to China

An agreement has just been signed between Kenya and China for the export of Kenyan avocados to the Chinese market. This deal also opens the Chinese market to a dozen other Kenyan agricultural products.

 

 

 

Kenya's president, who is visiting Beijing to attend the Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation event, has signed an agreement with his Chinese counterpart to export Kenyan avocados to China. A lengthy approval process was needed to reach this agreement, which is expected to allow Kenyan avocado producers to export nearly 40% of their production to the Chinese market.

 

 

 

The signed deal will also open the Chinese market to more than a dozen other Kenyan agricultural products, such as mangos, green beans, peanuts, vegetables, aromatic herbs and macadamia nuts.
